I did not fall for you
simply opened my arms
and allowed you
to fall into me.

I have always liked pistachios
because you have to
crack them open.

sometimes
you can hear someone's heart
speaking
but you cannot
understand
what it is saying.

sometimes
you can hear someone's heart
speaking
and you grasp it
better than words
could convey
it feels so right
when this happens.

sorry
if i embarrassed you
i was just
trying it out.

In Iceland
I once saw a rainbow
that seemed
temptingly close.
It graced its way
over the dark water
and seemed to land
in a pile of ocean rocks.
Full of foolish humor and anticipation
I braced against the wind
and ran along the shore
to seek it out.
Upon reaching the rocks
I found that the rainbow
had slipped
twenty feet away
in a seamless blend
of reflection
and refraction
and high light.

jellyfish
and thoughts of
jellyfish
cheer me up.

I looked
for you
and found
everyone
else.
